Mr. Smith, I'm wondering whether you have found a way of considering my offer? 史密斯先生 ,我想知道你方对我方的报价考虑好了吗？

　　I certainly have the will but I wonder if I've found the way. 我当然想考虑好，但却无法考虑好。

　　You see, I made what I consider to be a reasonable offer based upon the rise in production costs, 你知道，我的报价是很合理的，现在生产成本在上涨，

　　and the continued fall in the exchange rate of Australian Dollar to U. S. Dollar. 澳元与美元的比价在下降呢。

　　Let me say something about the falling Australian Dollar.  澳元贬值的事我也想说说。

　　We're both hurt by the rising U. S. Dollar.  我们双方都受到美元升值的影响。

　　We will have to pay more Renminbi for U. S. Dollar to buy wool from you. 我也得付出更多的人民币兑换美元从你方购入羊毛。

　　I understand. 我懂。

　　Do you?  真的？

　　Then you can see that we have one wish that is to conclude this transaction in a way that will satisfy both sides.  那我们只有一个愿望，就是把这笔生意做得令双方满意。

　　What can you do to help? 对此，你有什么举措？

　　I think the  best way I can do is to reduce our price by 200 and I should think we could conclude a deal at $ 98. 我能做的是降价2%，我想我们可以以$98美元的价格达成交易。

　　All right. I accept this reduced offer at $ 98 per metric ton FOB stowed.  好吧。我接受每公吨98美元含理舱费的离岸价。

　　The other terms and conditions shall remain the same as those in the previous agreement.  其他条款应与前次协议保持一致。

　　Now will you draft the agreement or shall I? 由你方还是我方来拟定协议？

　　Your legal department is very good at these things.  你方的法规部很擅长这个工作，

　　We can trust them with the drafting of the agreement. 就委托他们拟定吧。

　　Ok.Then well bring it over to you tomorrow morning.  行。我们明天上午拿给你。
